Modular Incubator Chamber
MIC-101
Description
The Modular Incubator Chamber (MIC-101) is a compact and versatile tool designed as a cost-effective system for maintaining cell cultures under stable hypoxic (physioxic) or hyperoxic conditions. It offers a straightforward approach to controlling oxygen levels using its closed system, preventing multi-well plate edge evaporation, and tailoring gas concentrations to your specific requirements.
The MIC-101 incubator utilizes a surface-type seal where all portions of the O-ring are uniformly compressed by a glass reinforced polycarbonate retaining clamp for a reliable air-tight seal. The cylindrical walls and semi-spherical top and bottom provide minimum gas flow resistance and no inherent dead space during initial purging. The chambers have an integrated stacking feature for storage during or after experimentation. All units are molded from high quality polycarbonate and will not break, crack or cloud with extended use.

Simply place your tissue culture cells in the chamber, add a container with filtered water for humidity, attach a flow meter to the unit, flush for several minutes with the desired gas mixture, then seal the chamber and place in your 37˚C incubator. See the instruction sheet for detailed protocols.
Features
- Simple to Use.
- Trustworthy Airtight Sealing: Ensures a dependable and secure closure that reduces contamination.
- Eliminates Evaporation: Prevents multi-well plate “edge effect” evaporation.
- Effortless Cleaning: The seamless, crevice-free interior with rounded corners makes cleaning and decontamination a breeze.
- Minimizes Consumption of Expensive Tri-Gas Mix.
- Uniform Gas Distribution: The cylindrical chamber design guarantees consistent gas distribution.
- Increased Environmental Stability-Zero Lag Time: Once sealed, the MIC-101 maintains consistent gas levels for at least 72 hours, confidently offering extended experiment durations without environmental disturbance.
- Versatile Multipurpose Trays: Accommodates culture dishes, flasks, test tubes, and multi-well plates.
- Space-Efficient Stackable Design: Maximizes storage efficiency.
